Listening Practice 3

There are many hot places around the world, but today we are only going to talk about two: deserts and rainforests. Deserts are large dry areas of land. They have very little rain, and not many people or animals can survive in them. Some famous deserts are the Sahara Desert and the Kalahari Desert. Tropical rainforests, on the other hand, receive lots of rain. Rainforests are full of plants and animals. The largest one is the Amazon Rainforest. Even though deserts and rainforests are both hot places, they differ in many ways.
